Erikson's psychosocial stages are arranged in a developmental order from birth to adolescence, with each stage focusing on a specific conflict or challenge in a child’s growth.

Trust vs. mistrust occurs from birth to around 18 months, where infants learn to trust or mistrust based on their caregivers' consistency.

Autonomy vs. shame and doubt happens from 18 months to 3 years, where toddlers develop a sense of personal control.

Initiative vs. guilt takes place from 3 to 5 years, where preschoolers initiate activities and interactions or experience guilt when their actions don’t meet expectations.

Industry vs. inferiority occurs from 6 to 12 years, as children develop competence and learn new skills.

Identity vs. role confusion happens during adolescence (12-18 years) when teens explore their identity and sense of self.
